Laura Trott — Golden Wheels

Laura Trott facts

Laura is an Olympic champion in both team pursuit and Omnium disciplines. That's cycling, to you and us.

Not only has she got not one, but two gold medals, she's also that World Champ in team pursuit.

Why we love Laura Trott

Rumour has it that the blonde Olympian took up cycling when her mother decided to take to two wheels to lose weight. We bet Team GB were pretty glad she did. Laura shot to fame when she and fellow biking buddies Dani King and Joanna Rowsell grabbed gold in the team pursuit. Because of her, Britain gained another gold post box. The 20 year-old has made cycling sexy, inspiring girls around the country to jump on the saddle. For that, Laura, we are eternally grateful.
